The car has moderate wear and tear. The exterior paintwork and chromework are tidy overall, with only a few isolated areas of corrosion just starting to appear. The bottom edge of the front wings need attention, as does the passenger side rear door corner. The interior is smart and tidy, the wood is good, the seats clean and free from any obvious damage although they are a little creased.

The Daimler V8-250, produced between 1962 and 1969, was a luxury saloon that combined British elegance with performance.
Introduced by Daimler as a more refined variant of the Jaguar Mark 2, it featured a 2.5-litre V8 engine designed by Edward Turner, known for its smoothness and spirited performance.
The 250 V8 stood out with its fluted grille, a hallmark of Daimler styling, and luxurious interiors featuring high-quality wood and leather.
It was one of the first cars to successfully pair a compact design with an eight-cylinder engine, offering a unique driving experience that was both swift and composed.
Although overshadowed by its Jaguar sibling, the 250 V8 became a niche favourite among enthusiasts who appreciated its distinctive character and craftsmanship.
Offered here is a 1965 Daimler V8 250 presented in metallic opalescent green with beige leather interior trim.
